Abstract

Unique synthetic approaches for the synthesis of homogeneously dispersed and highly loaded aluminum nitride (AIN) / polyimide (PI) nanocomposites have been developed. The effective interactions at the solid-liquid interface during the preparation of stable dispersions of ceramic/polymers have been investigated. In particular, the surface chemical composition of the nanoparticles has been analyzed. Characteristic model reactions on the surface have been carried out, which revealed the mechanisms for the deagglomeration and stabilization of nanoparticles via chemisorption reactions. Moreover, compared to other synthetic approaches, this method demonstrates the capability of preparing extremely highly loaded nanocomposites and being applicable to a wide range of materials. The thermal and mechanical properties of the A1N/PI nanocomposite have also been studied.
